Somewhere in the Dead of Night

Somewhere in the dead of night
when you seem so very far,
I’ll look up and see your name
written in the stars.

Somewhere in the dead of night
when you had gone too soon,
I’ll look up and see your face 
reflected in the moon.

Somewhere in the dead of night
when everyone’s asleep,
I’ll look up and search for you
although we cannot speak.

Somewhere in the dead of night
when nocturnal creatures prowl,
I hear an owl screech, the crackle of a witch
and a lone wolf, howl.

Somewhere in the dead of night
as my powers grow,
I’ll ask the wind to tell me things
that only you could know.

Somewhere on a starry night
when life had just begun,
The big bang split us apart,
and I began my journey round the sun.
